2. What is the trend of environmental burden of disease for respiratory and cardiovascular due to outdoor air quality in the year 2000, 2008 and 2013 in Malaysia? Study objectives – General objective:
o To determine the outdoor air pollution burden of disease from selected cardiovascular and respiratory disease mortality using 2000, 2008 and 2013 burden of disease data – Specific objectives: o To determine outdoor air quality in Malaysia in 2000, 2008 and 2013
o To determine the burden of disease of selected cardiovascular and respiratory disease mortality in Malaysia for year 2000, 2008 and 2013
o To determine the attributable fraction of outdoor air quality to the above burden of disease o To calculate the cardiovascular and respiratory burden of disease from air quality The methodology must describe the use of below to calculate the environmental burden of disease:
1. Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALY)
2. Attributable Fraction/Impact Fraction Data are derived from: 1. Air quality data (PM 10) 2. Mortality and Morbidity from Ministry of Health Assumptions: 1. Air quality data represents the nation air quality
